Citrus planting techniques of Hongmei

Hongmei citrus is a citrus variety bred in Japan, with thick orange face, pulp polarized residue, high sugar and high quality, sweet orange aroma, known as citrus aristocrat. So how to grow red beauty oranges? Let's get to know it.

1. Garden site selection

Low planting with warm, fertile soil, good drainage and irrigation, poor cold resistance and high requirements for heat, light and fertilizer should be selected. therefore, it is appropriate to plant in the garden with no strong wind, warm sunshine, sufficient light, fertile soil, deep soil layer and high content of organic matter in winter. It is sensitive to soil moisture content and needs to be planted in places where drainage and irrigation are convenient, and it is necessary to reasonably control moisture, control diseases and insect pests and improve quality according to the actual situation.

2. Fertilizer and water management

Red beauty has a high demand for fertilizer and water, so it is necessary to reasonably strengthen fertilizer and water management and appropriately increase the amount of fertilizer applied throughout the year. Young trees are mainly nitrogen fertilizer and organic fertilizer, and the principle of thin fertilizer and frequent application is adopted to cultivate high-yield trees. Four times a year, the base fertilizer is mainly slow-acting organic fertilizer, combined with chemical fertilizer and trace element fertilizer, combined with deep ploughing to improve soil application, budding fertilizer is applied before spring shoot germination, mainly quick-acting nitrogen and potassium fertilizer, combined with sea elf biological stimulant root system, in order to awaken the root system and promote the development of new shoots. In July, strong fruit fertilizer was applied, organic fertilizer, balanced compound fertilizer, medium and trace element fertilizer and sea elves biological stimulant were applied to achieve the purpose of strengthening fruit, promoting shoots and raising roots. 10-15 days before fruit harvest, it is mainly quick-acting compound fertilizer, and the tree potential is restored quickly at present.

3. Trim and reshape

The main purpose of young trees is to expand the crown, cultivate backbone branches and increase the leaves of crown branches. one year after planting, they can promote the emergence of several times in spring, summer and autumn, speed up the formation of crown, prune many times in time, cultivate effective fruiting branches, and properly cut the extended branches of main branches and secondary main branches to maintain a certain amount of growth and tree potential. The adult fruit should be pruned mainly in spring, combined with the whole year, and the trees with too many main branches and too many main branches should be pruned in time in order to improve the lighting conditions.

4. Flower and fruit management

Red beauty has a high fruit setting rate, in addition to pruning, but also need to timely thinning flowers and fruits, so as to improve quality, and maintain strong tree potential, to achieve the goal of high and stable yield. Flower thinning is carried out before the budding branches bloom, mainly to remove the leafless inflorescences on the weak branches and the leafless inflorescences on the weak branches. Fruit thinning can be carried out twice, the first time in late June, to remove disease and insect fruit, deformed fruit, damaged fruit and crown bore too much, too dense fruit; the second time in August to September, to remove dehiscent fruit, disease and insect fruit, small fruit and tip fruit. In addition, in order to prevent diseases and insect pests and improve fruit quality, the fruit can be bagged.
